How to Create, Write and Append a File using Groovy Script

The below code will explain how to create a file using groovy script in soapUI Groovy script editor.//Define the name of the file.

def fileName = "test1.txt"
// Defining a file handler/pointer to handle the file.
def inputFile = new File("C:\\"+fileName)
// Check if a file with same name exisits in the folder.
if(inputFile.exists())
{
// if a file exisits then it will print the message to the log.
log.info("A file named " + fileName + " already exisits in the same folder")
}
else
{
//else it will create a file and write the text "Hello World !"
inputFile.write("Hello World !")


}

If we don't use inputFile.exists() and check if the file is there or not, it will overwrite the contents of the file and recreate a new one with same name.

If we want to append text to an existing file, replace "inputFile.write("Hello World !")" with "inputFile.append("Hello World !")".
